Literary Use of Welsh.

The extent to which the Welsh language
is employed for literary purposes among
the Welsh is int little understood in Eng
land, where it is very generally supposed
that it prevails more or less as a spoken
LANGUAGE among illiterate tanbrians but
plays little part in the world of letters. 1t
appears, however, that its periodical lit
erature IS very extensive, considering
population. There are seventeen weekly
newspapers published in the vernacular in
Wales. with circulation altogether of
over 100, 600. There is monthly Welsh
magazine that can boast of circulation
of 81, $50, and altogether the magazines
published in the vernacular in Wales
scores total of 10000 copies. A lead
ing firm of publishers in the principality
are said to have laid out sum of els. 900
in the production Of a single Welsh work,
with fair pecuniary results, and Welsh
English dictionary now in course of pro-
duction has taken one-half guinea
quarto volume of 400 pages to reach the
end of the first letter of the alphabet.
That says even a larger volume for the
copiousness of the Welsh language, but it
is not exactly encouraging for any enter
prising Englishman who may find his own
literature insufficient, and may, there
fore, contemplate an incursion into that
of Wales.-London Daily News.

HALF A DOZEN FISH STORIES.

A scventy-six pound catfish was caught in
the Cumberland river at Palmyra, Tenn.
Meuhaden drove immense schools of weak
fish into gully in front of the bathing
houses at Anglesea, N j., and wagon loads
were taken out.
A lime sloop of Rockland, Me-, was fol
lowed by shark, and one of the crew threw
the fish a lump of quicklime The shark
swallowed it at one gup, and soon died in
great agony.
In the center of the dining room of the
Slevinsky Bazaar hotel, of Moscow, is large
fountain filed with fish, from which, when
you order one, the waiter catches it alive
with dipnet before your eyes.
While George Lindlcy was working on the
banks of the Sangamon river, near Decatur,
Ills, he pulled hollow log from the river
and found in it a catfish three feet six inches
long which weighed forty-two pounds
One of the ugliest of the fnny tribe is the
toadfsh, a Shiny creature not even an enthus-
last could venture to touch. The enormous
mouth extends in semi-circe from side to
side and is the most prominent feature of the
soft, wedge shaped body. The colors are ILL.,
defined and impress one with their dirtiness,
adding to the disagreeable effect. Repulsive
looking as the toadfish is, it is said to mani
fest more care for its young than is usual
among fishes, redeeming its appearance by
its moral character.
